Grades

The system of grading in courses is as follows:

A 4.00
B+ 3.50
B 3.00
C+ 2.50
C 2.00
D 1.00
F 0.00
W Withdraw
I Incomplete
AU Audit

The faculty may offer specific courses on a pass-fail (P-F) basis. An "incomplete" grade is convertible to a passing grade, provided the work is completed in a manner satisfactory to the instructor. The work must be completed by the date set by the instructor or within the first five weeks of the beginning of the next regular semester, whichever date occurs first. If it is not so converted, the incomplete will automatically be changed to the grade the instructor assigns on a form completed at grading time. A student's cumulative average is computed by averaging the grades received in all courses taken, on the basis of the number of semester hours accorded to each course. A course in which an unsatisfactory (P-F grading) or failing grade is received does not count toward the total of 90 semester hours required for graduation. A failing grade (F in a regularly graded course), however, is computed into the student's cumulative average. A student may audit a class with the consent of the instructor and the Dean. In order for the student's transcript to reflect the audit, the student must follow certain procedures, including certification of attendance.
